Hymn 575 THE KING OF LOVE Lyrics

1. The King of love my Shepherd is
Whose goodness falleth never,
I nothing lack if I am His
And He is mine forever.

2. Where streams of living water flow,
My ransomed soul He leadeth
And where the verdant pastures grow
With food celestial feedeth

3. Perverse and foolish oft I strayed;
But yet in love He sought me
And on His shoulder gently laid,
And home rejoicing brought me

4. In death’s dark vale I fear no ill
With Thee, dear Lord, beside me:
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me

5. Thou spread’st a table in my sight,
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And o what transport of delight
From Thy pure chalice floweth!

6. And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never,
Good shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
Within Thy house forever
